I commend you for the work you've done on creating external sites and running nodes to help keep steem running but you ignored what I asked for.
This site is currently dominated by a tiny minority of users with vast amounts of steem power. That steem power ensures that they get the lions share of rewards, increasing their SP faster than everybody else's. It's even more rigged than our traditional economic systems.
Do you agree that this is bad for the site? If so, what would you do to try and make the site fairer (let's assume you have the power to implement your plans)?
I don't believe in over taxing the wealthy simply because they are wealthy.
If smaller users want to earn more they have to put in the time and energy building a following. Some people join this site and get $15k on their first post (dollarvigilante). Is he supposed to be treated differently because he joined with a pre-established following?
A lot of the people you are talking about have been involved with Steem since the beginning. Isn't it a little unfair to show up to their party and demand you receive presents?
I think economic distribution is a problem in every single financial model in existence. If there was an easy way to solve the issue it would surely have been done already.
I didn't ignore anything. Maybe I didn't answer it to your expectations, but I did answer it. I have no ability to take away money from the rich to ensure the poor eat. People shouldn't have to be forced to do the right thing, however they should have the option to make the choice and decision theirselves.
I can only speak for myself here. If that isn't sufficient then I apologise but I won't speak for other people. I will work to help the distribution of funds just like I have been doing since day one with my support of Minnows.
I hardly ever give a non-100% vote to users. I don't care if you have $1 or $100k... I vote for quality content and promote the same. This is me doing my part to distribute the economic supply. I think you want me to come up with some clever idea of taking the power away from those in control right now, but I don't have such a plan. In fact, if those people teamed up they could basically silence me, despite my investment.
Steem is a risk of an investment and I put my money where my mouth is. The $40k in my account came from my profits from crypto. I am blessed to have made so much and realize not everyone will be as successful. However, again, I still don't see a need to take away from others.
There are 7.5% of users voting for witnesses because they want to give quizzes and questionnaires like this before voting. It takes thousands of minnow votes to match a single whale vote. So by abstaining from voting, YOU are ensuring those in power stay in power longer.
Thanks for answering my question and letting me know where you stand. Unfortunately, I'm not going to vote for you.
And that is why you are the reason those in power remain there. Have a good day.
